Summary

Delirium Tremens

March 2006. On Saturday, we climbed Gone With The Flake, a somewhat obscure 5.9 trad line on the Red Wall. After that we hiked up to the Marsupials and did Delirium Tremens (5.10a) – a amazingly beautiful line somehow reminiscent of the Incredible Hand Crack in Indian Creek (only shorter and only a hand crack in part). On Sunday, we met up with our friends Jason and Tracy for a few cracks in the Lower Gorge, including Cruel Sister (5.10a), Blood Clot (5.10b), and Wildfire (5.10b).
